Pretty in Pink…The 3 Day Marathoners
September 9, 2007 by Leave a Comment
What an incredible experience to watch and cheer for all of the wonderful courageous people who are participating in the Breast Cancer 3-Day Marathon. 
It was great to see fellow neighbors will "all out" cheer stations equipped with water and mini-bags of M&M’s. I just pulled up a chair and encouraged them with "great job" and "almost done" as they walked by. I wish I would have done more…but I know the marathoners truly appreciated the support.
I trimmed back our cork screw willow which drapes over the sidewalk after it borrowed someone’s pink fuzzy antennas. We have another marathon, The Northwest Hope and Healing, for breast cancer along Beach Drive next Sunday, September 16. Let’s support the marathoners again! If you have shrubs that are poking over into the sidewalk, you might want to consider doing some pruning to make it easier for these champions.
The 3 Day Marathon is here

I just had thought…we should probably wait to roll out our garbarge until after the marathon has passed our section of Beach Drive.
Let’s give these guys and gals some extra space (and cheer ’em on).
I’ve done a half marathon before and it was grueling for me. I have complete respect for what the 3-Day-ers are accomplishing not only for their charity and cause but also for the pure physical aspect.
I’m off to the side walk to cheer! It’s kind of early…but I think I can manage.

Wake up early to cheer for the 3-Day Marathoners
September 8, 2007 by Leave a Comment
Just a reminder that beginning tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m., The Breast Cancer 3-Day marathoners will be coming by until approx. 11:00.
Let’s line Beach Drive to cheer them on during their last day of this huge event.
Create your own "Cheering Station" and think pink! 
I’m planning on getting up early to provide some encouragement. One person I’ll be looking for in the "sea of pink" is my friend and co-worker, Larry Swanberg. Larry is one heck of a nice guy. He lost his wife, Tammy, to breast cancer a couple of years ago and he continues to participate in this marathon to honor her memory.
If you see Larry (he should be easy to spot…he’s a guy!) please give him a "shout out".

Quick Update re: Beach Drive Block Watch Meeting
September 6, 2007 by Leave a Comment
The meeting scheduled for Tuesday, September 18, 2007 has been postponed. We have a few neighbors who have committed to participating that will not be able to attend on Tuesday.
I’ve emailed Officer Ben and will let you know when we have this rescheduled.
I apologize for any inconvenience.
